Starting today, you can pick one up at Grand Traverse Pie Co. stores. Available at the company's 14 Michigan locations, the new GT Beef Pasty features a handcrafted crust wrapped around a filling of ground beef, potatoes, rutabaga, carrots and onion.

Those filling ingredients are all hallmarks of a classic pasty -- especially the rutabaga. Stores will serve cooked pasties with a side of gravy or ketchup for dipping. They will also have frozen pasties that patrons can can be baked at home.

The GT Beef Pasty is $5.99, but prices can vary by location. If you’re not familiar with the pasty, it is a comfort food classic. The pasty, pronounced PASS-tee, has had a long history in Michigan, and was a favorite of copper mine workers in the Upper Peninsula, because of its portability and hearty flavor.
